SocQ Google Maps Research

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is a coherent SocQ integration for public Google Maps research, with disclosed external service use and API-key requirements.

Install this only if you intend to use SocQ for public Google Maps research and are comfortable providing a SocQ API key. Prefer a pinned or preinstalled SocQ CLI when possible, review expected credit costs before large runs, and avoid sending secrets or non-public data as query inputs.

70% confidence
Finding
npx commands without a version suffix (e.g. @1.0.0) create a rug-pull risk if the upstream server is compromised and publishes a malicious update.

Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly recommends `npx @socq/cli`, which resolves and executes the latest package version at runtime unless a version is pinned. That creates a supply-chain risk: a compromised upstream package, malicious update, or unexpected breaking change could be executed in the agent environment.
